Yes, if you have the original Chap 7 version, you can just cannibalize the files from there, but if not, all is not lost ...

As I said, you have to read the instructions carefully. Anyone that does will be led to that post if they need it.
Sorry, but I didn't see any link, leading to this post in the instructions given by Sancho.
That being said, I had just read these instructions out of curiosity before choosing the version with the new sounds.

To be fair, it's about 3 links down ... also, they may have been updated since the post originally was made.

Strange. I downloaded only the "Download Music Restoration Mod 1.2.2 (906 MB)" first and it created no changes in the game before using the patch. I’ll try again

Edit: It works but I can only listen to the original music. When I switch to the new music in the preferences, no music plays.
The original music in the preferences screen is the recommended setting. When switching in-game, the music will only start playing at the start of a new scene. That's because of how the game is coded and run in the Ren'Py engine. I'd say the mod is likely correctly installed now. Enjoy! (y)
Speaking of the music restoration mod, how good is it? I thought the music in the base game was already pretty darn good.
I mostly agree with Elhemeer above, but would strongly recommend the Music Restoration Mod to new players. You'd be missing out on many good, sometimes great songs, that really add a lot to the experience. If I'm correct, Drifty replaced the original songs that were censored with licensed songs that already played in other scenes and the final chapter. So nothing is really lost when using the mod, there is just more variety and some of the original music fits better to the scenes, in my opinion.

Like Elhemeer stated, some players might prefer the Multi Mod. I haven't tried that one, so I can't comment on it. But overall, I think players are better off using one of these mods and experience the original music, as it was intended by the developer.

That’s the problem. When I switch back to the new music in preferences, at the beginning of a new scene no music plays at all.
That's curious... Just tested it. I selected "New version: Rework by Drifty..." in Preferences. Right after you write your MC's name in a new game, and when Steph appears in the dream, I hear a song ("Picture perfect on the surface..."). My guess is that you might've accidentally overwritten some of the main game files. So you can try a fresh install. Another possibility that I've heard of is that the Ren'Py engine has issues with long file paths or 'special characters'. So try unzipping the game files in a basic folder such as:
C:\Games\LeapofFaith\

Hope that helps. Otherwise you could try the forum of the Music Restoration Mod. Perhaps the mod developer can help you further. Good luck!

Ok so let's say I'd like to try restoring music with the Sancho mod. I still need the "v1.0" folder to put these files in, right? And since I don't have that folder (it's not there in the final ch 8 release), would it be okay to create it as an empty folder and then put those files in there?

ask from that who made it, afaik it has all old songs.
I figured It had all of the songs but thanks for the confirmation. However I have one question. Do you know why I get rollback errors for saves I made while using the restoration mod?

Are they saves from before the final version was released? If so, it might be the conversion from Renpy 7 to 8 that's causing it, not the mods.

No . The saves are from yesterday when I was testing out the mod to see if the music played in the background.

Excuse Brout for his dumb question guys, since he ate too many tortillas last night and drank too many shots of tequila, he must have lost some neurons along the way.:giggle:

Hey Minou... I'm not about to throw Brout under the bus for my own entertainment or anything, but if you happened upon a post he made somehow, then there's really nothing I could have done I guess.

Hell, now I'm going to get murdered by Minou when she reads this
:whistle:

So anyway, sounds like a heck of night! Give him our regards and hope he's not suffering too much today. Monday's are the worst as it is.
